Instructions
Creating BBQ Grilled Prawns with Garlic, Lemon & Chilli is straightforward. Follow these steps to make your own:
- Marinate the Prawns: In a large bowl, combine minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, chopped chilli, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add the prawns and toss well to coat. Allow marinating for at least 15 minutes.
- Preheat the BBQ Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat while the prawns marinate. This ensures a nice sear and prevents sticking.
- Skewer the Prawns: Thread the marinated prawns onto the skewers, making sure they are close together but not overcrowded.
- Grill the Prawns: Place the skewers on the grill. Cook the prawns for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are opaque and slightly charred. Avoid overcooking to keep them tender.
- Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a beautiful presentation.
- Enjoy!: Serve immediately with extra lemon wedges on the side for drizzling, and perhaps some crusty bread or a fresh salad.
